We went there on a family road trip once! Truly an amazing place. We had so much fun exploring the houses and learning our history! I truly recommend staying at this place for a few days to tourists and locals who want to feel the culture and history of the PH. We slept in a spanish-style house and went on some tours, finding hidden buildings and statues, went on the boat ride and workshops, and just enjoyed the architecture, the shows, and the art!

[@theraperf4864]

This power duo is appealing to the eyes. Both of them dress well.

[@clarizadionisio5762]

Both goodlooking too

[@jensue109]

Mike and Nelly, you two are so inspiring. I am Filipina and have lived in the United States since 1956. I was born in Northern Philippines, unfortunately, I do not know too much about my country as my father wanted us to learn the American way of life. I appreciate watching your adventures and your appreciation for the Philippines. I hope to visit my home land one day. Please take care, be safe and abundant blessings to you both. Happy new year.

[@kawaiiafangirl]

That place looks beautiful! And just in case you guys don't upload on the 31st, I hope you guys have a Happy New Years Eve in the Philippines!

[@ireneobalgue3405]

it would be nice if there's a shope or boutique that rents the traditionalcloathes of filipino elite back in times for photo shots. I want to see you guys wearing those clothes with the traditional old calesa wit the old structures background. How cool it would be!

That' s what Manila looks like and other colonial and heritage houses around the Philippines before WWII

[@gi2bull]

Yes. The Philippines would have countless of large old houses has the Japanese not invade. What the Japanese did not destroy in Manila, the Americans blew them up. And it was not just buildings that were destroyed. We lost so much of our colonial period legacies. The time when our identity was forming.

Many of us Filipinos are like tourists in our own country and we marvel at the grandeur and beauty of our country through the vlogs that vloggers like you show us. By the way, it seems you haven't gone to Art in Island. It is also located in Quezon City. I hope you can visit the place.

the owner of that restaurant Margarita Fores catered for the pope when he was here in the philippines. so their food is definetly good. they also own CIBO , LUSSO , GRACE PARK and AMANO

Bistek is a filipino colloquial word for BEEF STEAK

[@JB-vy5cc]

Bistec is actually a Spanish loan word from the English words beef steak. Bistek is the Filipino version of bistec.

[@gramirez72]

J B ...And that's what he just said -- Bistek is the Filipino word for Beef Steak. It's actually Bistek Tagalog, which is actually Bistec Encebollado, if you want to be nitpicky.... 🙄😊

[@JB-vy5cc]

@@gramirez72 If you want to be ultra nitpicky, bistek comes from bistec which comes from beef steak. Bistek did not come directly from beef steak as arch jazejam said.

[@gramirez72]

J B arch jazejam’s message does not imply that at all. He’s simply saying that bistek translates to beef steak. Which it does! You’re reading into the message way more than you need to! Etymologically, to say that bistek comes from beef steak is not false. Because it does come from beef steak. You’re arguing over one letter, c to k. The root of the word is same. Why is this an issue? Bistek means beef steak. That’s the translation. It came from Spanish, but it is now part of the Filipino language. Are we going to analyze and debate every single word in Filipino that came by way of Spanish?! What for? You’re making the original statement way more of an issue than it is.

[@gramo63]

And the French call it "bifteck." Oui, c'est vrait, mes amis. And in Batangas, "beefsteak" is pronounced "bipistik". Talaga.
